With the Python interpreter and the port of the Qt framework, the principle
components for Python-based GUIs on Genode are available. However, the glue
between both components is missing. The incentive of this work is supplementing
our Python port with the modules needed for real applications and porting the
Qt4 bindings to Genode. This would bring Genode one step closer to executing
Qt bindings to Genode. This would bring Genode one step closer to executing
modern Python-based GUI applications (in particular KDE4 applications).

With Qt, we have demonstrated the feasibility to run a highly-complex

The efforts towards enabling mobile application stacks such as Meego and
Android on Genode must be accompanied by a revision of Genode's 'Input'

Based on these findings, we expect a proposal for changing Genode's input
